Chapter 10: News of the world (2 of 3) -- USA TODAY


     If your host system doesn't carry the clari newsgroups, you might be
able to keep up with the news a different way over the Net.  USA Today
has been something of an online newspaper pioneer, selling its stories to
bulletin-board and online systems across the country. Cleveland Free-Net
provides the online version of USA Today (along with all its other
services) for free.  Currently, the paper only publishes five days a
week, so you'll have to get your weekend news fix elsewhere.

     After you connect and  log in , look for this menu entry: NPTN/USA
TODAY HEADLINE NEWS.  Type the number next to it and hit enter.  You'll
then get a menu listing a series of broad categories, such as sports and
telecommunications.  Choose one, and you'll get a yet another menu,
listing the ten most recent dates of publication.  Each of these contains
one-paragraph summaries of the day's news in that particular subject.
